Application led November 26, 1924. Serial No. 752,384.

To all lwhom t may concern:

Be it known that I., JOSEPH Sonn'r'rEN, a citizen of the United States,residing at `Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State ofCalifornia, have invented'certain new and useful Improvements Oil Cans,of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to oil cans of the type ydisclosed in my Patent#1,514,107, granted November 4, 1924. U

The present invention has for its ob]ect .to simplify the constructiondisclosed in said patent and reduce the cost of manufacture to theminimum.

The invention resides in those novel details of construction,combination and arrangement of parts, all of which will be. first fullydescribe then be specifically pointed out in the appended claims andillustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of my invention, the partsbeing in the normal or rest osition. I

Figure 2 1s a view showing the invention in use, the plunger beingforced inwardly to eject the oil.

In the drawing, in which like numerals and letters indicate like partsin all of the Ii ures, 1 represents the main body portion o? the oilreceptacle which is constructed in any desired shape and of any desiredmate rial. It is constructed in a half spherical form, as illustrated,and it includes the usual threadedpfilling neck 2.

4 designates the cylinder which is threaded at 3 and capped at 29 to fitinto the neck 2 and form a closure therefor, the cylinder 4 having abearing web 5 to engage the ball 10, the latter being'held in placeagainst the bearing web 5 by a cap 7 also having a bearing portion 8 andthreaded at 6 to the lower end of the cylinder 4, the bearing webs 5 and8 being aced apart to provide a chamber 9 in w ich lpacking may beplaced, if desired, or found necessary.

The ball 10 has universal movement in its bearings 5 and 8 and is boredat 11 and tapped at 12 to receive the goose neck pipe 14, the latterbeing threaded into the threaded portion 12 of the bore 11 and adaptedto be normally closed by a ball valve 15 under tension of a light spring16 held in the bore 11, the bore 11 being restricted at 13 to constitutean abutment for the spring 16.

17 is a plug tted into the upper end of the cylinder 4 and held in placein any desired manner as by welding, brazing or riveting over (as at17X), the plug 17 being bored for the passage of the piston 19 whosehead 20 works in the cylinder 4. 18 is a packing held in a recess in theplug 17 by a coil spring 28 mounted on the plunger or piston 19, theother end of the spring engaging the finger plate 26 which is aperturedto permit passage of the screw plug 23 that is threaded at 22 into theupper end of the plunger 19 and that carries the spout 27 to which it isattached in any desired way, as by welding, brazing, soldering, etc.

The plunger 19 is provided with a valve seat 21 whose passage is adaptednormally to be closed by a ball valve 25 under tension of alight spring24.

In operation, the plunger 19 is telescoped into the cylinder 4 to expelthe contents of the plunger and cylinder through the spout 27' duringthe inward stroke of the plunger and its isto-n head 20. During thisinward stroke t e valve 15"'remains seated and the valve 25 opens, asindicated in Figure 2. On releasing the pressure, which tends totelescope the parts 19 and 4, the spring 28 Will move the plunger 19outwardly with relation to the cylinder 4 thereby permitting valve 25 toclose and valve 15 to open, thus causin suction in the pipe 14 to drawup a new ciarge of oil into the cylinder 4 and washer 19.

The goose neck 14 is so shaped when the can is inverted, as shown inFigure 2, the mouth of the goose neck 14 will follow the contour of thebody 1 and enable practically all of the contents of the body to bewithdrawn regardless of its position. A screen 30 may be placed over theend of the pipe 14 for the usual purposes.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawing, it is thought the complete construction, o erationand advantages of my invention wi l be readily understood by thoseskilled in the art.

What I claim is:

1. In a device of the class described, the combination with a liquidreservoir body having a threaded mouth, a cylinder having a threaded endscrewed into said mouth, a plunger operating in said cylinder, a sprinfor extending the plunger, a s out carried by the plunger, a back checkva ve mounted within the plunger, said cylinder havin a bearing webadjacent its lower end and a v having a plunger bearing aperture an capwith a bearing web mounted on the lower end of the cylinder and spacedfrom said cylinder` bearing web, a ball journalled in said cylinder andcap bearing webs, said ball having a bore to receive a ball valve andspring, and a goose neck pipe threaded into said bore and adapted tohave its end closed by said ball valve.

2. In a device of the class described, a liqluid reservoir having athreaded opening, a cy inder having its upper end threaded to fit intoand plug said threaded opening, said cylinder having a bearing at itslower end, a pipe swivelly mounted in said bearing for delivering thecontents of saidreservoir to said cylinder, a back check valveassociated with a delivery end of said pipe, a plun er With a headmounted in said cylinder, a ug secured in said cylinder, said plughaving a packing recess and a packing located in sai recess, a spring onsai plunger pressing against said packing and adapted to extend theplunger, a spout carried by said plunger, a back check valve in saidplunger, and a finger piece on said plun er said cylinder substantiallyas shown and described.

3. In a device of the class described the combination With a liquidreservoir body having a threaded mouth a cylinder having a threaded endscrewed into said mouth, a plunger operatin in said cylinder, a springfor extending the plunger, a spout carried by the plunger, a back checkvalve mounted Within the plunger, said cylinder having al bearing webadjacent its lower end and a cap with a bearing web mounted on the lowerend of the cylinder and spaced from said cylinder bearing web, a ballvjournalled in said cylinder and cap bearing Webs, said ball having abore to receive a ball valve and spring, and a pipe threaded into saidbore and adapted to have its exit end closed by said ball valve, and ascreen on the entrance of said pipe.
